Why this rule existsrationale
Public companies get elevated trust and throughput, and the ticker is what lets a vetting provider confirm the claim against an exchange listing. Without both symbol and exchange the claim cannot be checked, so it is refused.
How to fix itremediation
Enter the ticker symbol and the exchange (e.g. NASDAQ, NYSE).
A compliant exampleexample
Stock symbol: ACME · Exchange: NASDAQ

One other rule reads brand.stock_symbol + brand.stock_exchange. Fixing one field to satisfy a single rule is how a resubmission trades one rejection for another, so read these before you change anything.
